Modem pool phone number to change
The UW-Eau Claire modem pool phone number, 836-5990, will be disconnected on April 19. A DiscoverNet phone number, 830-1040, will replace the old number. Modem pool users must update the phone number their modem dials. The new number is available immediately, and Computing and Networking Services staff members recommend that users make the change as soon as possible. The phone number update completes the modem pool outsourcing that began in May 2003.

If you need assistance or experience problems using the new number, call DiscoverNet at 830-1500 or the CNS Help Desk at 836-5711.

University Bookstore textbook order information
Orders for rental and purchase textbooks for fall semester 2004 were to have been submitted to the University Bookstore by March 19. Rental requests submitted now have lower priority.

Submitting orders for rental and purchase textbooks now allows the bookstore to do the following:
    • order your textbooks early to avoid potential problems.
    • notify instructors about publisher stock situations, edition changes and out-of-print titles.
    • pay students half price for their purchase course books at buyback.

Instructors may call 836-3125 or visit the University Bookstore for assistance.

Continuing Education to offer Wisconsin Regional Teen Institute
The Wisconsin Regional Teen Institute offers training and technical assistance opportunities for communities interested in and dedicated to engaging youth to make a difference. The Institute has separate sessions for middle school and senior high age youth. The 2004 dates and locations will be June 22-25 at UW-Richland, Richland Center; September 23-26, at Lutherdale, Elkhorn; and October 7-10, at Camp Jorn, Manitowish Waters. Full story.
